[Havok83]

man that sucks

[Elandyll]

To put things in perspective -if- the NPD numbers I have found are correct (and also to find some positive )


PS3 sales
2007: 2.558.000
2008: 3.545.100 +38%

360 sales
2007: 4.619.000
2008: 4.733.000, +2 %


of course, Wii sales:

2007: 5.966.000
2008: 10.151.000, +70%

The PS3 was a hundred dollars more expensive most of 2007 than 2008 though. To be fair though, the 360 got a price drop too and didn't really pick much up over the year. But it did have Halo3 though. The Wii was supply constrained, and it seems this December that it still is.

PS3 was doing great as of the end of august:

Jan - August Numbers:
PS3: 2,019,000
360: 1,742,000


... and by Oct it was neck and neck with the price cut....

PS3: 2,441,000
360: 2,460,000

... And then the 360 simply sprinted ahead in the biggest selling season of the year.

[Rike255]

WII PLAY W/ REMOTE 5.28M
WII MARIO KART W/ WHEEL 5.00M
WII FIT W/ BALANCE BOARD 4.53M
WII SUPER SMASH BROS: BRAWL 4.17M
360 GRAND THEFT AUTO IV 3.29M*
360 CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR 2.75M*
360 GEARS OF WAR 2 2.31M*
PS3 GRAND THEFT AUTO IV 1.89M*
360 MADDEN NFL 09 1.87M*
NDS MARIO KART 1.65M

This is top 10 game sales for the year? How come MGS4 isn't in there? It's sold over 3 million already if I remember right.

World wide.

Here is the link to the article which had wii selling 3.25 mil in December NPD. Guess Michael Pachter was wrong (though that doesn't surprise me)

[Terjyn]

It's pretty much right what I expected. Sony down somewhat, 360 up somewhat, Wii supply constrained again (can't sell 2 million in November without selling out most of the existing stock).

Don't really understand the DS, but never really have.

[yobrenoops]

Whats the worldwide LTD position, does anyone know?

Obviously most interweb sites are a touch US-centric so this whole console war is very much skewed towards 360.

yeh its not that wii wouldn't have sold 3 mill its that they didn't have 3 mill units. they are still nowhere to be found everywhere i go. its sad but if there was 5 mill units a month they would sell that. 10 mill they would probably sell that too...

[Terjyn]

I wouldn't go that far anymore.

For most of November the Wii was finally not supply constrained. They were *everywhere*.

Black Friday sucked them all up sure, but I'll be surprised if the Supply constraint continues very far into the new year, unless Nintendo stops all production.
